7:04 am
not going to get back alone if this is the destabilisation that it's visiting upon the country but the thing is what who can control things in egypt now now a popular slogan of the arab spring which i call the arab spring for nato has been the fear has gone but perhaps the fear has gone by along with the fear so has any sense of security and nation building and state building so really can anyone control what's going on and this is this is rooted partly as well because of the trial against those who accused of being guilty author of the deaths at the football match so really it's also it's also you know openly said that nor can control anything in egypt are currently we can always check ati's our twitter feed for the latest on what's going on in cairo bill true report we saw just a bit earlier also posting her latest updates on her own page as well also a still to come of the program the one oddity alleged atrocities by the army in mali raises eyebrows of the u.n.

casts a shadow on what some see as the french leaders crusade visit to the north african state. plus justification of terrorism while waging war on terror rushers a top diplomat hints that the inconsistency of the west's approach could be behind the deadlock in syria's ongoing standoff. america's forces in afghanistan may have been running on iranian oil this and a clear violation of washington's own fuel embargo against the islamic state at the pentagon has admitted it cannot vouch for the source of years worth of fuel due to a complicated supply system he's got a nature can pick up the story. the u.s. gives money to the afghan government to buy fuel for its forces now u.s. officials especially spoke to general for afghanistan reconstruction say they cannot verify that the fuel purchased for afghan security forces in recent years did not come from iran it could be their way of saying that it most probably did
7:06 am
come for the wrong and it could mean that the u.s. has violated its own sanctions thereby letting us taxpayer dollars go to remain coffers those sanctions that the u.s. has put in place not only bar u.s. companies from doing business with iran but also punish third party countries for doing business with iran but no matter how many rounds of sanctions are in effect they were never watertight even though the european union under a lot of pressure from washington stopped buying uranium oil you have a host of other countries that still do iran's biggest buyer now biggest buyers now are china india and japan and these countries are oil thirsty especially china so china imports of uranium oil india's imports of iranian crude were up thirty percent according to tanker arrival data western sanctions have it rains oil exports in two thousand and twelve leading to a very deep plunge in the arabian currency but continuous robust demand from its
7:07 am
top buyers as well as the purchase of new tankers allow the red to unexpectedly boost exports late last year despite the sanctions the u.s. can't absolutely force those major economies especially china to stop buying from iran political and economic ramifications of such pressure would be significant but the u.s. government is trying their prompting those other countries to buy oil from washington's allies saudis and katori so you can imagine how happy the gulf states are about this whole new business coming in but washington is resolute to put more pressure on other countries to put forward more threats like cutting them off from the u.s. banking system. so to many countries the situation starts to look more like blackmail than anything else i was regards to iran and blackmail is essentially what the us calls diplomacy which by the way is not working but washington acts to hold not only ran hostage to sanctions but the whole world which is of course
7:08 am
creating more cash and. you're going after to kind of courting right will in the meantime i believe from the national iranian american council he says washington is so addicted to punishing iran it's forgotten why it's doing it in the first place what we need to remember is that the same sions are supposed to be. protecting us national security interests the problem is that we have lost sight of what those sanctions are supposed to achieve the same ones have become sort of an interest and to themselves we've lost sight of the fact that sanctions are supposed to be sort of a tactical form of getting leverage over iran that is then used at the negotiating table to try to carve out a deal to try to you know have something to offer and give and take and they become a strategic objective unto themselves if you look at the last ten years of. u.s. policy on iran we haven't actually achieved the whole lot we've done a lot of things in terms of we can in iran's economy and sort of ratcheting up the
7:09 am
pressure but iran centrifuges are still still spinning we're on the precipice of a war and now with afghanistan we're facing these really tough questions about can we continue to be enemies with iran and not engaging with iran while we're trying to leave afghanistan in some sort of stable fashion. well.

the government. of the country. as one official put it the negative ad campaign about britain would help to dispel the myth that the streets in the u.k. all paved with gold and the politicians certainly are worried and they've got it wrong in the past the previous year was the year of the olympics and politicians trump and trumpeting great britain and how long john in britain is the best destination the world billions of pounds poured into advertising to really sell the u.k. but it seems that for immigrants potential immigrants from rumania i'm from garia
7:11 am
the message is that britain isn't so great after all so a lot of people used to use that sort of as quite far cicle the fact that the government is willing to trash its own image and to admit that there are problems with the economy in disarray that there's a housing crisis and that there are problems with schools and hospitals everyone's been having a good old chuckle over the idea of a negative ad campaign and yes some people have actually said that it's quite insulting but remain ians them for vogue ariens but one newspaper has even suggested that people send in their own suggestions for what an anti britain poster would look like and the result has been really quite scathing and quite harsh to britain as a country we've got slogans that include u.k. yuck and come to britain and clean the toilets or even britain we haven't left ourselves because the public transport isn't running so people very sort of mocking
7:12 am
at the same time but quite scathing about the country westminster is bound by law so they have to follow these rules and they have to allow anybody who wishes to come over in twenty fourteen to enter the country but a lot of citizens in the u.k. feel that it's insulting to those people and a waste of money having advertised britain previously. that was britain as a highlighting all the downsides of living romania has launched its own p.r. campaign beautiful women like kate middleton and a very cheap booze suddenly appearing on the list of the main advantages of living that we've got a collection of all the posters. hatred and racism in the israel football league. team making its extreme right. over

7:15 am
had stuck to its initial agreements in the civil war in syria wouldn't have spiraled into such a state of tragedy he's part of the reports the underlying theme of so again a lot of rope speech was a few cheap unity with foreign partners furthering discussion however it was certainly not all sweetness and light from the russian foreign minister one of those questions that he said russia wanted to put to their western partners was how could the west justify their quest for regime change in certain countries while turning a blind eye to acts of terror this just one of many times he either alluded to or mentioned by name the conflict in syria it's all king about acts of terror committed by the opposition troops opposition forces within syria there against the the army against civilians now he also went on to ask the question of who decides which state is a candidate for regime change it seems that some are whereas some aren't looking at

7:17 am
have escalated all the way to the un blocks and genocide envoy says he's deeply concerned claims by activists that the army which is largely backed by french troops is committing ethnic for price tags and other atrocities this comes as francois hollande is on a visit to the north african country for his forces are fighting islamic radicals strasberg based journalist robert harness thinks the french president's trip is nothing more than political grandstanding. he may regard this as a window of opportunity to present this is a great french excess which militarily technically tactically certainly looks like let's be honest but it's his opportunity because clearly in the background there is considerable american assistance there now british troops coming in there talking about eight thousand african troops it's not going to be further out i may say the french are very reluctant to approach the algerian from to go too closely because algeria and france as you know have
7:18 am

washington has issued shop condemnation of what it describes as a terror attack in the turkish capital ankara where a suicide bomber blew himself up in front of the u.s. embassy killing a security guard american authorities say it's not yet clear who is responsible for the blast. pinning the blame on a far left anti u.s. group lawrence freeman from the executive intelligence review magazine believes the foreign policies of both countries is shoring up from radicals it's obvious right now that is a full escalation. or region going from north. into the middle east and president. obama administration the french and the british in these areas has obviously inflamed. the insurgents to the point that they are now targeting these western powers however the united states and the british and the french are also supporting. jihadi treatments in
7:20 am
syria and in other parts of the region so you have welcome trained terrorists on the border region we would turkey and syria power. now inside turkey so i think this is very bad news it obviously great opposition inside turkey and i think the the president other than minister is behaving foolish to are actually have this close working relationship with the west and he's actually undermining his own country and his arms security. or jerusalem a football team whose fans are renowned for chanting racist anti arab slogans assigned to muslims for the first time a supporters are openly disappointed at the move which some say is like a welcoming in the enemy it is poor slave reports on the boiling anger that's never far from the surface. the games in there but the actions out here these really football team they told us of them is making headlines not for what it does
7:21 am
on the pitch but what it does oafish the only leading team in the country never to find an arab player because of family pressure is a bastion of israel's political right if i am one other thing i am the don't love the enemy will be a player in my team or you could say it. that's what it was the chance like this we hate all arabs only the target of the racist croquet no it doesn't happen often but tonight's matches between be a charge of resulin a local israeli arab team the police are not taking any chances which is why these gates are for the jewish fans and the other side of the stadium is for the palestinian supporters now the match has just finished and as you see the bay tajiri some supporters are walking out behind me but it will be another hour and a half before the police give permission to the arab fans to leave the stadium but keeping the two sides apart does little to dispel the hatred in march last year
7:22 am
hundreds of fans rampaged through jerusalem or after a game chanting death to the arabs and randomly attacking our work is one result of the trying to say that there are just a few resources five to twenty people but that's not right racism is in the d.n.a. of the steam it's in their blood. we fetched is a football legend in israel he was the first arab to play for israel national team and to represent the country at the olympic games. i remember playing against the steam their supporters cursed me because i'm an arab muslim if this is not racism what is it that problem is about to get a whole lot bigger team owner a russian israeli tycoon at a coyote guide imac recently announced his decision to hire two muslim players from chechnya. it's not good they're doing it for nothing these players from chechnya aren't with the jewish people they're not with the team we have different values
7:23 am
while other countries have faced international sanctions for racist incitement by fans israel has so far avoided such close scrutiny but fears are growing that the beautiful game there is slowly being turned into a source of violence racism and hatred paula say r.t. jerusalem. it was one of the bloodiest battles in human history and ultimately a turning point in world war two seventy years ago the soviet union snatched victory in starling grad defeating the nazi death machine. and followed the commemoration. the parade here in modern day volgograd is to mark the end of that terrible battle seventy years ago with a parade by troops the laying of wreaths from the various delegations and the assembled crowds here remembering all those people that died there as many as two million the top estimates say there's also a little bit of control to see surrounding the name stalin graft the city is now
7:24 am
called volgograd. but the city administration say that they want on certain special days to once again refer to it by its old name stalingrad which is a controversial decision given its connection to that controversial figure stalin himself but as for this parade today this commemorative events it will forever have the connection the word stalin grad not just with this place but with what happened to him. seventy years ago the nazi war machine failed at stalingrad but here a reconstruction of the german surrender and dre is playing the part of friedrich powerless promoted the day before to field marshal by hitler in a bid to stop him capitulating. when paul is realize that hitler wanted him to commit suicide he said he wouldn't give him such pleasure and he chose to live. for
7:25 am
nazi germany this military disaster was the moment hitler's hubris really caught up with him for the soviet union it was at last a decisive victory over the invaders that had ravaged so much of the country this basement of stalingrad the largest department store had become palaces last headquarters soviet officers entered to find it packed with wounded starving and freezing german soldiers this is what had become of what had started out as the largest army the world had ever seen. the velma six army had surged up to the city in the summer of one nine hundred forty two hitler wanted to clear the way to the oil of the caucasus but stalin grad but first a sideshow became an object of obsession for both him and stalin fyodor fort for his very life battling house to house as the germans and their allies took ninety percent of the city for the quest and. towering red it was how the ball there was

a river of fire and when we went to get water from it it was water and blood mixed . in november soviet commander of sprung a huge trap cutting german forces off from the supply lines surrounding them inside the frozen city by the end of january it was all but over the city was a ruin only the few biggest buildings remained standing. fears by this but you know i'm still in harbor far people it was very important because finally we stopped retreating offices in general started to learn how to win at stalingrad as many as two million people died in the battle their bodies still being discovered today but although the red army and the soviet people didn't know it yet they had reached a turning point in the bloodiest war in human history tom barton party. on our website called we've got a whole section dedicated to the second world war you can find stories of the
